A LIFE INSURANCE CASE.
Mrs. Ford win Get the Money on Her
Husbnnd'a policv.

y
In the early part of 1874 the late Dr.
Charles NJ. Ford, who resided many years
on Capitol Hill, obtained loan OF money
from Mr.. George Harrison, of Troy, N. Y,
TO secure which he gave a second deed Of
trust on the house wherein he lived. The
doctor also left with Harrison as additional
security paid up policy of insurance for
the benefit OF his wife In the sum OF about
s., 1900, placed by the Travellers Insurance
Company, of HARTFORD, Conn, and which
policy had leen held by Harrison to secure
previous loan under a written assignment
from Mrs. Ford made In 1871. In Decem-
ber, 1874, Harrison, feeling uneasy about his
money, came to Washington to confer with
DR.. Ford and see what could be done about
it this conference resulted In Harrison OBJ
tanning an absolute deed OF the doctors
residence and new assignment from Mrs.
Ford of the insui ance policy. After the
deed DR.. Ford occupied the house, paying
rent therefor, at the rate OF 800 a month
to Harrison, until the summer Of 1876,
when Harrison sold the house TO Mrs.
Mary Clemmer Ames. DIR. Ford died In Feb
iuary, 1884. Some time after his death Mrs.
Ford, supposing that the matters between
her husband and Harrison had been set
tied, wrote to Harrison for the policy, 1t
having through negligence been left In his
possession, and to her surprise Harrison
claimed the policy as security for the money
obtained by the doctor from him In the early
part Of 1874. Among the DOCTORS papers
Mrs. Ford found a release from Harrison OF
the deed Of trust given to him to secure the
loan mentioned, containing recital that
the notes given therefor had been fully paid
and satisfied. A formal release from Har
iison of the trust, reciting the debt paid
and satisfied, was also discovered among
the land records OF this District. To sustain
his claim Harrison says that the deed from
him Of December, 1874, was not intended to
lie absolute, but that he took 1t for the pur-
: ose of preventing other c.editors OF DR..
Ford, who were pressing for their money,
from selling the Doctors property, and that
the rccitals In the release which he had ex-
ecuted were not true, but that they were
given to effect the sale to Mrs. Ames and
to carry out the arrangement mentioned
when he took the deed. Judge Merrick, in
deciding the case yesterday, held that on
Hanison's own showing he was not entitled
to relief In q court OF equity because the ar
rangement or agreement which he states
he entered into was against public policy
and unlawful, and particularly In the face
Of his solemn declarations that the DOCTORS
debt TO him had been paid and satisfied long
before the doctor died. The money was de.
creed by the court TO be paid to Mrs. Ford,
who was the beneficiary in the policy.
Messrs. Edwards and Barnard appeared for
Mrs. Ford and Col. Totten for Mr.. Harrison.

tage OF the troubled affairs of our government

ably clear and eXpicit-a picture, in fact, in
words which could be seen the many, varied,

now exist. The speaker, with great pathos,
referred to the mlsfortunes of the Princess

better qualified to write and talk of these
events than Col. Foster. and his address OF
Monday evening Is valuable contribution to
the history of our time. In the musical part of
the programme Mr. B F. Keller sang with
most excellent effect "The Pilgrim Fathers
and German Drinking Song; Miss Kate Scott

| Art Like Unto Flower" and. as an encore,
